Olea's father, Ole Bull married Sara Chapman Thorp on September 6, 1870 in Madison Wisconsin.

Olea's mother Sara toured with Ole many times to the U.S. and Europe. She accompanied him during musical concerts as his pianist. While her parents toured, Sara Olea Bull grew up in Abbie Shapleigh's keeping and very good friends with Amelia Shapleigh. She studied the violin as a child. She was prominent in Boston and was a promising young singer.

Olea married Henry Goodwin Vaughan on 5 February 1894. Henry was an attorney. After her death, Vaughan married his second wife, Elizabeth Russell Tyson (1871-1949), daughter of Emily Tyson (c.1846-1922).

Henry & Sara Olea (Bull) Vaughan had one daughter, Edwina Vaughan, born in 1895 and died 1898 in Lysøen, Norway. They also had three adopted children, Sylvea Vaughan Curtis, Dorothy Shapleigh, and David Miller. After Olea's death, Dorothy was raised by Amelia Shapleigh.

Olea died from tuberculosis, a few hours after her death, Judge Nathaniel Hobbe of the Probate court in Biddeford gave effect to an agreement as a result of the contest instituted by Mrs. Vaughan to the probate of her mother's will, under which Mrs. Vaughan was to receive a large portion of her mother's fortune.
